Abstract: Zero modes of rotationally symmetric vortices in a hierarchy of generalized Abelian Higgs models are studied. Under the finite-energy and the smoothness condition, it is shown, that in all models, $n$ self-dual vortices superimposed at the origin have $2n$ modes. The relevance of these modes for vortex scattering is discussed, first in the context of the slow-motion approximation. Then a corresponding Cauchy problem for an all head-on collision of $n$ vortices is formulated. It is shown that the solution of this Cauchy problem has a $fracpin$ symmetry.
